Sagot :


The answer is B.

This is because it shows someone saying something, but it is what the writer has told us as an audience not a normal quotation that we see in a book.

For example, a direct quotation would be:

"Mom! I don't want to do my homework now!" Darren complained.

This is because we can see the exact words of what Darren said.

Whereas an indirect quotation would be:

Darren told his mom he didn't want to do homework now.

- Because we have to trust the writer what Darren said but cannot see the exact words.

Hope I helped,
